Topic: Out of curiosity... (Read 20890 times)

The good news is, vpackager built you a package for xf86-video-via-0.2.2it just can't find it, but it should be in your /tmp/vpackager-builds/ directory

The bad news is, vpackager doesn't know how to build the rest of them...which indicates out-of-the-ordinary build procedures for these other packages

That also indicates the following facts about the rest of the packages

They do not ship with configure scripts

They are not CMake sources

They are not Python sources

if any of these were true, then vpackager would build them.

The only thing I can suggest at this point would be to manually extract each source tarball.Look in the contents and see if you can find a file called "Makefile"If it exists, try running "make" inside that directoryotherwise, I'm out of bullets

Many thanks, MOE-Inx, you helped and taught me so much in this case...I keep you posted after trying out your last suggestion,,,If it doesn't work, it's fine with me (and then exeterdad was right on page 2.....)Thanks

In /via-20060403-linux.i386/drm/linux I found "Makefile" and "Makefile.kernel"In /xf86-video-via-0.2.2 I found "Makefile.am" and "Makfile.in"In /unichrome-X-r30 I found "Imakefile"In /OpenSource_ubranch I found only two files...."libGL.so.1.2" and "/modules/dri/unichrome_dri.so".

I thought it through and I still don't want to give up on this issue...

But, because this is all kind of "Mandarin" to me I can't go ahead on my own...Which of these ..makefiles.. do I have to consider???What do I have to do with the "*.so"-files???Maybe somebody has to nerve to help once more...Many thanks in advance to everybody who has an idea/thought for me....
